With HD video recording,great image quality,and a solid selection of lenses,the Nikon D5100 andCanon T3i are on the top of a lot of wish lists out there. For people already in the Canon or Nikon camp (full disclosure:I’m a Canon man),the choice is obvious if an upgrade is in their future,but for the less dogmatic and new recruits to the DSLR crowd,it’s not nearly as clear-cut. $800 buys you a lot of camera either way.
Pixel peepers will want to check out the reliable and exhaustive reviews at DP Review (here andhere) and other photography-centric sites where systematic checks on image quality are conducted,but I wanted to just put these two worthy devices head to head and see not just how they compare technically but in everyday use.
Crunch Gear: If you’re a photographer and use a Mac,chances are you’re using Lightroom or Aperture. Probably Lightroom,since Aperture is less popular among pros — and the latest version seems to be an acknowledgment of that. The features added in version 3 are clearly intended to draw casual shooters using iPhoto to the paid image editing honey pot. Since so many of these amazing new features are direct side-loads from iPhoto,it smooths the process and makes the program as a whole more approachable,though whether existing Aperture users will find them helpful is questionable. Brushes,on the other hand,are a welcome addition to any photographer’s toolset,and depending on how dedicated you are,may be worth the price of admission. Read On…
Hey everybody. Rob here. Just wanted to give you a heads that I just ordered the new SpiderHolster and can’t wait to get my hands on it and do a nice,real world review from a novice photographer. Looking forward to showing my face on camera and seeing what you all think of our first video review.
Its been a while since I have taken a look at cameras. I have been lost in the world of ease of use with my iPhone. With portability you rarely think about a true image of brilliance such as the Red One™. The great thing about this camera is it is the only camera built for the upgrade. What I mean by that last statement,think of a car,you want it to go fast but you got to start at the stock model. Well with the Red One™ it is the same idea. It only weights 10 lbs,with a modular design which allows it to be upgraded as the team at Red Digital Cinema works on updates. This camera is an investment for a life time of use and upgrades starting at 17,500 USD. Also there are 50+ upgrades that you can choose from to make your Red a life time of great cinematography.
